"Very interesting" - Loads of Charlton fans react to exciting revelation

According to The Evening Standard, Charlton have received an offer worth £30m from an unnamed former banker, who is keen to take the reigns of the club from controversial owner Roland Dutchatelet.

Belgian Dutchatelet has been in ownership of the South East London outfit since 2014, when he shelled out £17m to purchase the club. Since, it has pretty much all been downhill, with the Addicks slipping back down to League One having won promotion to the Championship in 2012.

The 72-year-old seems to be in no denial about the hole he has dragged the club into and had even suggested to the EFL that take it off of his hands, although, of course, that proposal was quickly rejected.

Veganism, solar energy, chasing promotion. Forest Green Rovers are one of the most unique clubs in the Football League. In the video above, Thogden catches up with their progressive owner, Dale Vince…

While Charlton might be in turmoil off the pitch, Lee Bowyer and his team are doing an excellent job on it – the former Addicks player has guided them to fifth place, where, should they remain in that spot come the end of the season, they will have the opportunity to win promotion back to the second tier.

Bowyer and his boys would undoubtedly be helped massively by a new influx of cash into the club, though, and most Charlton fans on Twitter think that Dutchatelet would be mad not to accept the eight-figure offer…

Roland…mate….take the offer man, go on holiday, chill out and put this nightmare behind you…please. Not for our sake but for yours. #cafc

When you look at the offer it’s almost twice what he paid. Any normal person getting that for a business losing money would snatch the buyer’s hand off, but sadly Duchatelet seems intent on recouping all his losses, which in the current climate will never happen. #cafc

Do wonder if Roland would look at this bid from this unnamed, unarmed fellow, and just think all my problems in SE London could be over in one signature. Get it done and just forget about it forever. Or does he continue to dig his heels in for no discernible reason? #cafc

If he doesn’t take this offer Louis I think we will be stuck with him forever ??

Very very interesting , surely Roland has to bite their hand off at that figure with proof of funds?

Little Things

Today I travelled across the country to go to a Keith Barry show. It was cancelled but it was for a family bereavement. Although I was disappointed I could only think of how genuine a reason it was. This led to a conversation with my mother about little happy things.

She told me about a man in New York who, when she was working there doing a few deliveries at a florist, would always give her a flower. A man in Salthill in a bakery that would give her a free muffin when it was raining. A garage man who was called out to repair a puncture, but didn't charge her for the call out. And just tonight we ordered pizza at the pizzeria down the road and the owner, Antonio, made my mother a tiramisu on the house.

Sometimes the little happy things can outweigh the bigger more horrible things.
